It’s already easy to subscribe to them at http://llvmweekly.org (which has its own RSS feed and is a great resource), but having copies of them make up 90% of the posts on blog.llvm.org makes it very difficult to find the remaining 10%.

This is a reasonable suggestion. LLVM Weekly is an amazing resource which is why we wanted it on the blog. However, it may be better to link directly to it from the website as you suggest.
